Rickpadwick1801 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 a fast jet just flew over, swear it was a mig15/17? can't be surely? was it just a hunter and my eyes have failed me? EDIT: just checked Eastbourne and theyve got one flying Hi Stu, It was a MiG 15 at Eastbourne. I was there and had never seen one before. I have an 8 GB and 4 GB memory card to sift through. I got what I think are some amazing photos of the Vulcan, P-51 (Ferocious Frankie), Blenheim plus others...... Would anyone like to see them ?

daldroflas Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I was leaving work in Purfleet, Essex yesterday about 16:10 when I heard something that was obviously not one of the usual planes heading for London City airport. It was a very pretty, silver MiG-15 cruising past at around 1500 ftft in the bright sunshine. Certainly not what I was expecting! Everyone now and then we see Chinooks and Apaches as well. We also saw a low flying V-22 Osprey whilst camping in Chapel Stiles, Cumbria in early July. That was a surprise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
